Ex-Judge Frank J. Taylor and
Jirenham Yan Busen, returned from a
very successful robin hunt yesterday.
'They killed 14 dozen that are nice for
jot-pies.
Spring salmon have been caught
tit Brookfield and at upper Astoria
this month. The one caught at Brook
field caught itself in Sam Oliver's
scow.
Mr. John H. Larsen of Tillamook
county arrived dn the city yesterday.
.He is over on a flying visit a liorse
back. He is well jdeased with the
prospect ahead -in that portion of the
country.
There are more numerous swans
on the river this winter than for many
years past. On Sunday last at least
two hundred were seen in one flock
between Astoria and Brookfield.
Referring to the Puget sound
barnacle sent to San Franckco, the
Alta says: "Zt weighed one tpound
six ounces, 'but that is nothing.
Come around to the Exchange any
time, and we can show you numbers
ofold barnacles who weigh all the
way from 150 to 300 pounds. Call
around. The exhibition will be free
and permanent."
Postmaster Cole of Portland de
serves to be removed for maladminis
tration in his office, but the Oregonian J
feels it incumbent upon itself to do
.fend Cole and abuse Mr. Mitchell,
probably "from the fact that one of
the charges agiins Colo is the distruc
tion of Mitchell's speech, mailed to
citizens of Portland. The Oregonian
is a healthy old newspaper; isn't it.
Mr. J. 32. Lyon is again in this
part of thecountry after a absence of
ubout'two years, half of which time die
put in prospecting for ths'iiorthpole
by land, and half at the fishing busi
ness on Frazer river. His headquar
ters now are at Ladner's landing,
B. C, at which place Mr. James A.
Laidlaw, formerly of this city, is now
employed.
,
Boarders at ihe Occident are nat
urally inclined to be a little jealous at
th extra attentions paid to Count
Hansen. Yesterday morning his table
.was serped. with ons potato which
weighed four ibs., baked, sif Han&sn
.can't put up with the average-sized
potatoes that come onto the table it
ought to be talten as an evidence of
the fact "that he didn't .come from
.Hamburg or Bremen. , ..
Treasnrc Production.
We are indebted to Mr. A. "Van
Dusen, Wells. Fargo & Co.'s agent at
Astoria, for a copy of the annual
statement of treasure products made
up by John J. Yalentine, general
superintendent of Wells, Fargo & Co's
express business on this coast The
total value of the gold, silver and lead
product for the j'car amounts to $81,
154,622, of which sum Oregon contrib
uted 1.213,724; Washington territory
$73 311. The figures show a decrease
over the preceding year, and it is esti
mated thai the production for the cur
year will be still less, and will not
greatly exceed $70,000,000.
"
Sea-Sickness.
Of the many annoyances to which
the traveling public is subject at a
particular season sea-sickness is, per
haps, the most distressing. A perfect
cure for this malady would rob ocean
travel of llf its terrors. No drug,
however, has been discovered 'which
acts as a specific. The cause of the
sickness is largely if not wholly due to
the involuting and unexpected motion
to which the passenger is subjected
on board ship. These cause undue
pressure upon the stomach and liver,
and derange the action of those or
gans. To prevent this, attention has
recently been called to an old plan
which is said to be very successful.
It consists in regulating the act of
breathing according to the pitching
or rolling of the vessel, drawing in the
breath as she rises, and breathing out
as she falls into the trough of the -sea.
After a little experience the practice,
it is said, becomes involuiftary. When
sea-sickness has" fairly set in, the only
thing to be done is to get rid of the
extra bib thrown into the circula
tion, ano to allay the irritation of the
stomach.
Mr. J. G. Megler will soon have
an excellent dairy ranch at Brookfield.
He has made remarkable progress with
his improvements; it is quite a sur
prise to visitors. He will be prepared
to keep 100 head of cows in another
year.
The Alta says: "There was some
individual, evidently a fugitive, who
sailed on the ship Panmnr (bound
for Queenstown) on the 4th inst. He
paid $1000 for his passage. This is
&ll we know more we cannot tell;
but in all probability we -will here of
tliis vessel putting into a South Ameri
can port, as as predecessor did, and
landing the individual. " Who was he?
The Standard says that J. B.
Congle that old pioneer merchant, after
a respite of a few months for refresh
ment and sleep, steps again into the
harness, or rather the harness, sad
dlery and general leather furnishing
trade in Portland. By square and
lion eat dealing he has established a
reputation which will draw large cus
tom. The 8th of January 1S79 will be
remembered m San Francisco, in
consequence of a lively "norther."
I It commenced at 1 a. m., and kicked
up quite a sea. The sloop Alice Sto
fen went ashore on north beach, but
got off without much damage. The
sloop YA . B. J. ;dso went ashore at
north beach, where she still remains.
The floating baths were tossing and
tumbling about at a great rate, and
any one in that vicinity could liave
had a bath gratis. The steamer Alex.
Duncan was considerably chafed at
Eureka dock. The ships America
and St. John Smith were also chafed
slightly at Front street, and at this
dock the barkentine Modoc and
schooner Ivanhoe collided, the lat
ter carrying away her main boom,
and the Modoc being slightly damaged.
The Ivanhoe vas towed out cleaT by
the tug Favorite, andhe Modoc -went
to sea.
